About Charlie Bassett
Charlie Bassett brings 25 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. He approaches counselling as a collaborative journey, helping individuals explore the roots of their distress while teaching practical skills and techniques that promote recovery and renewed hope. Charlie emphasizes a person-centered stance, offering deep empathy and acceptance as a foundation for clients to feel heard and to begin making meaningful change. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and on schema-informed ideas to uncover and address persistent core beliefs that can shape relationships and self-image.
His background spans work with children and teenagers facing behavioural and emotional difficulties, leadership of drug court and community sentencing programmes, and facilitation of interventions for domestic violence perpetrators. He has served as a clinical director of a private counselling agency in Oklahoma, worked on an acute adolescent hospital unit, and most recently provided care within an intensive outpatient day treatment setting for adults. Charlie was a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oklahoma, and after relocating to the United Kingdom he became a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He offers a practical, empathetic approach aimed at helping people move toward healing and a fuller sense of possibility.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and change
Charlie integrates person-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work in a way that is both compassionate and practical. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathy, acceptance, and a respectful space so people can explore feelings and clarify values - an approach that helps with low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and general emotional distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and provides concrete tools to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be explored collaboratively. Charlie works with registered professionals to tailor techniques and the pace of work to a person's needs, goals, and preferences so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options increase flexibility for scheduling and allow therapy to continue when in-person sessions are difficult, helping people stay engaged with their recovery from wherever they are.
